Speaking of Change: Where the Wild Things are

Growing older does not always mean growing wiser, growing maturer, growing kinder. It just means what it says, growing older. Wisdom does not come through age. People believe so because the older we get, the more experience we have with life. Experience does not come through time; it comes through the emotional expense we take in order to say something or do something. Maturity, I do not know how that works. It does not come through age though. I know that for sure. Kindness comes from character. It is the effect of the way we have been treated, the way we have been raised, the way we have lived, never the way our age has changed. Never.
